    England 0-1 Switzerland

    Swiss full-back Silvan Widmer is in a bit of pain after a kick to the back of the leg from Phil Foden.

    It was accidental, the defender came into sight from Foden's blindside.

    England are very ponderous and look rattled at the back. Switzerland really fancy this and it was a superb reaction save from Jordan Pickford that prevented Fabian Frei making it 2-0.

    Gareth Southgate's side very laboured.

    Kevin D'Souza: Maddison, in the form of his life, overlooked by the likes of Grealish and Gallagher. Why Gareth why?

    England have got to wake up here. They are giving the ball away. It is too slow and too static; they are falling asleep.

  6. GREAT SAVE!published at 26 mins

    England 0-1 Switzerland

    Switzerland nearly do get their second as Fabian Frei meets a volley at the far post which thumping first-time drive.

    The Swiss defender is almost away to celebrate but is stopped in his tracks by Jordan Pickford's stunning reflex save, tipping the ball into the crossbar.

    A real let-off for sloppy England.

    Switzerland well on top now and came close to a quick fire double but Xherdan Shaqiri's curler from range deflects wide.

    VAR is having a look.

    Xherdan Shaqiri looks off in the build-up but the goal stands.

    One moment in this first half; a real piece of quality. A great cross comes in and Embolo peels off in the box. Ben White is ball-watching. It is a good finish.

    GOAL - England 0-1 Switzerlandpublished at 22 mins

    Breel Embolo

    Suddenly, the game springs into life and Switzerland get the breakthrough.

    Striker Breel Embolo peels in between Ben White - who gets underneath the ball - and Kyle Walker-Peters to plant an unstoppable header past Jordan Pickford.

    What a delivery it was into the box from Xherdan Shaqiri.

    And just as I say that, Jordan Pickford is called into action.

    It's Arsenal's Granit Xhaka who forces him into a good save low down.

    It has been a very cagey, tactical battle. Nobody is really throwing too much at it in an attacking sense; there is nowhere for England to create overloads.

    This really does have the feel of an international friendly with nothing major riding on it.

    England finding one or two more attacking positions as this friendly springs to life but it can certainly be filed under "uneventful" so far.

    Manchester United full-back Luke Shaw is winning his 20th England cap today.

    That has taken a long time, having made his debut back in 2014, but he has been unfortunate with a string of injuries and struggling with his form.

    Sulaimon Adelekan: Xhaka is playing his 99th game for Switzerland. That's incredible. Happy to see Ben White and Gallagher in the starting XI, 2 two players who have had a wonderful season so far.

    Rob Elmore: Wonder what the odds are on Xhaka being sent off?

    Meanwhile, a man who is always very well coiffured, Conor Gallagher, breaks forward for he first time.

    The on-loan Palace man cuts onto his left peg in the area but sees a rising curler headed away.

    I'm really impressed with Switzerland; they are picking up really positions. They are so experienced and look a very difficult side to break down.

    Mason Mount has the look of a guy who is in desperate need of some hair wax or a hair cut.

    Either way, anyone got Marouane Chamakh's number?
